34. What a painful time, to know your Prez and gov did this
I'm from central Ca and they should have been impeached on this. So many business went under. and yes people did die especially children and elderly. There was still year round schools and my mom taught 2nd grade. These little kids had to walk in 110 degree's heat to school, coming from homes that couldn't afford air conditioning and go to a school that didn't ahve air conditioning. thank fully my mom's school was very old and had those big old windows. The would have kids put wet wash cloths on their neck. They will have them wet thier shirts to try to keep them cool.

There was a teacher from Dinuba or Delano, CA who walked to Sacramento to try to bring attention that these children were suffering. Families had to decide whether to cool off the house or to buy food. the monthly bill of a 3 bedroom house, cooling it down to 85% went from 100.00 to 500.00.

How can a poor or fix income live like that?

It was sickening. These Republicans who support this administraion make sick and I hope something bad happens to them, and they suffer from it.
